Debian Etch + Maildir

[LeoLinux]

Hi,

I just tried the perfect Debian Etch installation with the expection to use ISPconfig on it. But I stockt on page 5:
http://howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_etch_p5

because right on the end of this site on chapter "12 Courier-IMAP/Courier-POP3"

I was unsure what to do. I don't know what Maildir is good for, and the Howto said it's not neccesarry to do:

postconf -e 'home_mailbox = Maildir/'
postconf -e 'mailbox_command ='
/etc/init.d/postfix restart

if I expect to use ISPconfig - but in the *notice sais:

But please go sure to enable Maildir under Management -> Server -> Settings -> EMail in the ISPConfig web interface.

So my question is: Do I also have to make sure to tick the Maildir option in ISPconfig if I didn't type those three extra lines in or not?


Thank you

;-)

Yes. Otherwise your mails will go to mbox instead of Maildir, and Courier won't be able to find them.

Ok - thanks
